Was Epstein a Russian Asset - Rant! With Alex Finley

ALEX’S WEEKLY RANT!
Among the millions of Epstein files recently released are several pointing to correspondence between Epstein and Russian individuals with close ties to Russian intelligence. Here are just a few examples:

Epstein was trafficking women from Russia and Eastern Europe and used Russian bank accounts for payments. US Senator Ron Wyden, last summer, said documents in the Epstein files show that more than $1.1 billion was transferred between a single account linked to Epstein and multiple Russian banks, including banks now under sanctions. You know who else traffics women, particularly from Russia and Eastern Europe? The Russian mafia. Probably just a coincidence.

It was totally against Russian laws of course, but Epstein handled it for them. Probably for Putin too. That's why they sent wire transfers to Epstein. Sometimes he laundered money for them, and sometimes they returned the favor. He sent US funds to Russian banks because they didn't have to report skeevy transactions the way US and European banks do. No doubt the laundering services went both ways.

Did Epstein also get paid for being a spy? Well I don't know, but I hope we can find out by looking over these documents of his. The rumors that swirled around for years were that he was in cahoots with Mossad .... either working for them or with them. That was supposedly the reason why AUSA Alex Acosta gave him the sweetheart deal in 2008.

We have questions ....

World leaders thinking with the little head, not the big head.
